Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable, long-term system operation. The overall goal in providing the proper thermal environment is keeping the processor below its specified maximum case temperature. Heatsinks induce improved processor heat dissipation through increased surface area and concentrated airflow from attached fans. In addition, interface materials allow effective transfers of heat from the processor to the heatsink. For optimum heat transfer, AMD recommends the use of thermal grease and mounting clips to attach the heatsink to the processor. When selecting a thermal solution for your system, please refer to the website below for collection of heatsinks evaluated and recommended by AMD for use with AMD processors. Note, those heatsinks are recommended for maintaining the specified Maximum T case requirement. In addition, this collection is not intended to be a comprehensive listing of all heatsinks that support AMD processors.

Be sure all the switch are off, and check that the power supply input voltage is set to proper position, usually in-put voltage is 220V∼240V or 110V∼120V depending on your country’s voltage used. 3. Connect the power supply cord into the power supply located on the back of your system case according to your system user’s manual. 4. Turn on your peripheral as following order: a. Your monitor. b. Other external peripheral (Printer, Scanner, External Modem etc…) c. Your system power. For ATX power supplies, you need to turn on the power supply and press the ATX power switch on the front side of the case. 5. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light. The LED on the monitor may light up or switch between orange and green after the system is on. If it complies with green standards or if it is has a power standby feature. The system will then run power-on test. While the test are running, the BIOS will alarm beeps or additional message will appear on the screen. If you do not see any thing within 30 seconds from the time you turn on the power. The system may have failed on power-on test. Recheck your jumper settings and connections or call your retailer for assistance. Beep Meaning One short beep when displaying logo No error during POST Long beeps in an endless loop No DRAM install or detected One long beep followed by three short beeps Video card not found or video card memory bad High frequency beeps when system is working CPU overheated System running at a lower frequency 6. During power-on, press key to enter BIOS setup. Follow the instructions in BIOS SETUP. 7. Power off your computer: You must first exit or shut down your operating system before switch off the power switch. For ATX power supply, you can press ATX power switching after exiting or shutting down your operating system. If you use Windows 9X, click “Start” button, click “Shut down” and then click “Shut down the computer?” The power supply should turn off after windows shut down.

The BIOS is a program located on a Flash Memory on the motherboard. This program

is a bridge between motherboard and operating system. When you start the computer, the BIOS program gain control. The BIOS first operates an auto-diagnostic test called POST (power on self test) for all the necessary hardware, it detects the entire hardware device and configures the parameters of the hardware synchronization. Only when these tasks are completed done it gives up control of the computer to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software to communicate, it is the key factor for system stability, and in ensuring that your system performance as its best. In the BIOS Setup main menu of Figure 3-1, you can see several options. We will explain these options step by step in the following pages of this chapter, but let us first see a short description of the function keys you may use here: • Press to quit the BIOS Setup. • Press ↑↓←→ (up, down, left, right) to choose, in the main menu, the option you want to confirm or to modify. • Press when you have completed the setup of BIOS parameters to save these parameters and to exit the BIOS Setup menu. • Press Page Up/Page Down or +/– keys when you want to modify the BIOS parameters for the active option. 3-1 Entering Setup Power on the computer and by pressing immediately allows you to enter Setup. If the message disappears before your respond and you still wish to enter Setup, restart the system to try again by turning it OFF then ON or pressing the “RESET” button on the system case. You may also restart by simultaneously pressing , and keys. If you do not press the keys at the correct time and the system does not boot, an error message will be displayed and you will again be asked to Press to continue, or to enter Setup
